A) Enable Samsung Gallery sync
1. Open the Gallery app on your phone or tablet.
2. Tap the Menu icon located at the bottom right.
3. Select Settings.
4. Choose Sync photos and videos.
5. Select your Google account and toggle to turn On. Then, tap Continue.
6. You would be now able to access your Google Storage information in your device. Tap on Sync now.
7. Additionally, you can choose the albums by tapping on Albums to sync as your choice.
Understanding what data is backed up
- Photos and videos from your device.
- Specific albums and local folders like Downloads or Screenshots can be selected for backup.
- You can stop syncing your main camera roll while still syncing specific local folders.
What happens to synced photos & videos when you sync Samsung Gallery with your Google Storage
- Photos synced from Samsung Gallery are reflected in Google Photos and all devices connected to the same account.
- Storage usage: Backed-up media uses your Google Account storage space and is saved in original quality.
- Deletions are synced: If you delete a photo or video in either Samsung Gallery or Google Photos, it is removed from both apps and cloud storage.
- Edits are saved: When you edit a synced photo in Samsung Gallery or Google Photos, the changes are saved and backed up. Depending on the app, you may see both original and edited versions in your library.
- SD Card Support: SD cards are external storage and are not supported directly. Move files to internal storage first to sync them.
- Duplication: Photos already uploaded via Google Photos backup will not be duplicated if you also enable Gallery sync.
B) Disable backup and access through sync
1. Open the Gallery app on your device.
2. Tap Menu, then select Settings.
3. Toggle off Sync photos and videos to stop backup and cloud access.
Disabling sync in Gallery settings stops new backups and removes cloud media access in Samsung apps, but it does not sever the link or stop sharing your Google Storage data with Samsung Gallery.
